________________
After Edward left the Flamels' House, he did not immediately return to his base on the moon but went to visit his aunt Amelia and little Susan. He spent a few days with them, then he talked to his aunt about the Limiter and the possibility of her breaking it herself.
However, Edward was not prepared to use Bloodline Modification but decided to design a potion that allowed wizards to break the Limiter. In a year or two, his aunt should reach the level of magic power needed to break the First Limiter (25 times that of an adult wizard). The potion should be ready by then.
As for little Susan, she was far from that level yet. However, with Edward's careful guidance and many potions, she should reach that Limit by the time she reaches adulthood--which would be even faster than Edward himself.
Hence, she will greatly benefit from having a powerful older cousin as a teacher and predecessor.
After spending time with his family, he visited all his ladies' friends--even Soleil. It was then that he learned that her husband discovered their affair. However, after hearing that it was Edward was involved, he did not dare to do anything. Nevertheless, things have been very strange at home for Soleil.
Edward did not care about that. Although a bit heartless, he had warned Soleil long ago about the fact that there was no future between the two of them. One could argue that in the beginning, they both were using each other.
Soleil wanted someone that could cure her daughter's Blood Curse, and Edward was fascinated by her beauty and let lust take control of him. Now although both of them have developed some level of fondness with one another, it did reach the point of getting together--at least not for Edward.
After his escapade in the realm of lust and pleasure, Edward started sending letters to his pen pals--both in England and Internationally. Conversing with these authorities in different magical subjects always inspires him, not to mention that it is always beneficial to have powerful friends all over the world.
Although his knowledge far surpassed these people combined, he did not underestimate them. After all, he was not omnipotent or omniscient. In certain fields, these people are more capable and even outclass him as he did not focus on them.
Once everything was done, then Edward proceeded to make his first philosopher's stone.
Just like previously stated, after analyzing the stone that Nicolas Flamel made, this stone was condensed magical energy. So the first step in creating one is to find a place with a large quantity of magic power.
One of Edward's experiments was to determine whether magic power existed freely in the environment in the Harry Potter World--just like many other magical worlds he read about in his past life.
Unfortunately, the answer was negative. Edward once speculated that if magic power existed in the environment, wizards in this world would be way more powerful than they are now.
As they have to rely on their magical powers to cast spells, the power of the spells was hence greatly reliant on the wizard itself. But if magic power existed in the environment, wizards would be able to use said magic power in the air to cast truly powerful spells.
Although magic power did not exist in the air, it still existed in certain places with great concentration; to be precise, it existed in leylines nodes that travel underground throughout the entire world.
In the nodes, vast magical powers existed underground. As such, certain magical or historical places are built on ley line nodes: for example the British Ministry of Magic or Hogwarts Castle. The magic power in these ley line nodes powers up the magical constructs in these buildings.
Edward even discovered ley line nodes on the moon and built his laboratory on the most powerful one. This discovery was also one of the reasons that he believed that the Harry Potter World used to be a High Magical Universe.
His current theory is that these nodes are used to produce large amounts of magical powers into the environment. However, for some reason, they are currently sealed or recharging. Unfortunately, Edward did not find any evidence of a seal in these nodes.
The second step in creating the stone was the large number of souls needed to bind the magic power.
--Scene Break--
Edward walked to a special room. Inside the room was full of diamonds the size of marbles or bigger. He walked over to pick one and looked inside. There he saw something lying in the fetus position with its eyes closed: those were souls of muggles.
Edward had long predicted that he would need souls to make a Philosopher's Stone, so he was prepared beforehand. So, he traveled throughout the world and was present during most major wars or conflicts between 1985 to 1991.
Once some muggles die, he would collect their souls and store them for future use. As for the reason he used diamonds, it was because he discovered that they could store souls for a long time after being magically processed. The large quantity of diamond was because he controlled a few mines in different parts of the world--especially Africa.
Edward mostly collected the souls of grown men and women, while leaving children aside. He even buried a few of them that did not have the capability.
Edward knew that his act was hypocritical, however, he still did it like this relieved his guilt.
With a wave of his wand, a 100,000 diamond flew around and followed him to another room.
According to his original estimate, the number of souls needed should have been half or less of that. However, after his exchange with Nicolas Flamel, Edward discovered one downside of the Philosopher's Stone.
Using the Elixir of Immortality with so many souls will have side effects due to the grievances of all these souls. After all, no one would want their afterlife to be disturbed, let alone used as magical material.
This is one of the reasons that Nicolas Flamel's body is so weak and brittle; it's not just because of long-time aging. Additionally, these grievances could even affect a person's soul after long-term exposure, going as far as greatly reducing the magical ability of a wizard.
This is the reason that Nicolas Flamel is not the most powerful wizard that ever lived in this world. With more than 600 years of constant growth, his magical prowess should be far beyond any wizards.
After knowing the problem, Edward quickly came up with a solution, and he was finally about to test out whether it was possible.

Edward entered a room filled with beakers with different color solutions in them; the room looked like a chemist's room. Then, he started mixing a bunch of different solutions.
The difference between his room and a chemist was the fact that his beakers and test tubes had different Ancient Runes inscribed on them. Every time that Edward mixed a solution, these runes would light up. Furthermore, once in a while, he would mutter an incantation before and after mixing the solutions.
After everything was done, the result of Edward's solution turned into a crystal clear stone similar in size to Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher Stone; this stone was the container of the magical powers.
After this was done, Edward proceeded to process the souls needed for the stone. His first plan was to purify these souls, unfortunately, he does not have any knowledge regarding this subject, and the ones he does have proven to be useless.
Edward once tried to purify a soul by using the magic he learned from some Buddhism monks in India, Taoist monks in China, and some voodoo priests he met from some places in Africa and the Caribbean. And even the ones he learned from native Americans located in the United States.
Unfortunately, this "purifying magic" was not created to remove all the negative factors of a soul, but to allow grieving spirits to move on to the afterlife. These magics were even proven to be ineffective against wizard ghosts.
Even trying to modify the Life Code of these souls has proven to be useless, thus showing to Edward that his understanding of this magic is not as deep as he imagines; he still has plenty of room to grow and learn.
So, Edward focused on another solution: using a similar method as his Mechanized Mind Spell. He stripped the souls of their intelligence, will, mind, spirit, and all their memories and emotions; essentially turning them into a blank slate.
The result of that was these souls were indeed more "pure", but it also dramatically decreased their strength or power. Hence, the number of souls needed to create the Philosopher's Stone was also dramatically raised.
"What a waste," muttered Edward after seeing the amount of soul left after his little operations.
"Fortunately, this experience has greatly improved my understanding of the soul."
After repeating this soul operation more than 100,000 times, Edward then focused on the next part of the process.
He went to another room where a lake was located; the lake was blue with specks of grey light flying around it every few seconds.
He first places the previously created crystal in the lake, then controls the lake water to enter the crystal; this lake water was in fact magic power liquified.
Edward had made countless before creating this lake; unfortunately, the water disperse into the environment once leaving a few meters from the lake. And no matter how he tried to store it, it was virtually impossible--until today.
After the crystal absorbed the vast magic power, Edward waved his hand and countless souls were floated inside the room. However, unlike previously when they were in the shape of a human, this time they looked like floating clouds.
With his wand, he controlled these souls to enter the crystal or stone. Afterward, countless Ancient Runes that were carved in the crystal were lit up one after the other, then a magical transformation took place; the souls perfectly bound the magic powers inside the crystal, turning it into something solid.
Edward did not have to use Ancient Runes as he could simply enchant the crystal. However, according to his research, using runes instead of normal enchantment improved the quality of any Alchemy items between 40 to 60%.
This is the reason that even when teaching his students, he taught them to use runes in their enchantments--even though most Alchemists do not.
After three days, the magical transformation of the stone ended. The result was that Edward's Philosopher's Stone was blue instead of red like Nicolas Flamel's.
After that, he tested the stone by turning any metal into pure gold. With it, Edward was able to witness the highest level of Transfiguration Magic: Permanent change of any object.
In muggle scientist terms, this was essentially the ability of matter manipulation on a subatomic level.
Then, he proceeded to test out the Elixir of Immortality. After drinking it, Edward found that his soul's power was increased by a mysterious force, then his body was washed over by a powerful magical power.
After testing himself, he realized that his cells had broken through the Hayflick Limit on how many times they can divide; it was then that Edward realized that this stone was not only a magical wonder but also a scientific one as well.
After these simple trials, Edward walked into another room. He stood in front of it for a few seconds muttering to himself: "I need a room with the highest level of defense that all my knowledge can create."
After that, he entered the room holding the Blue Philosopher's stone in his hand.
Inside the room, there was a complete replica of Hogwart Castle. Without hesitation, Edward pointed his wand and said:" Bombarda!"
A white light flew from his wand and hit the tallest tower of the castle, then Boom, the entire tower was destroyed. The debris left from the explosion fell on the other parts causing even more destruction.
If this was the real castle, this level of destruction would truly be catastrophic. So, Edward nodded in satisfaction with his power. This version of Hogwarts was a perfect replica--as it even has the same protective enchantments.
"Siri, provide me with another castle," said Edward out loud. Following this, the destroyed castle was soon replaced by a new one after a few minutes.
After seeing this, Edward nodded in satisfaction to his Room of Requirement. For it to be so powerful, Edward improved many of the enchantments and dedicated a ley line node specifically for this room to draw magical power.
Edward then removed his smile, and with a serious look on his face, he held the stone in his hand. After concentrating, he started to channel the magical power inside his body.
He felt very powerful energy enter his body and grunted; if it was not due to his recent body modification, he reckons that his body would have exploded with so much energy running through his veins.
With a little effort, he pointed his wand towards the castle and said: "Bombarda!" again.
A massive light came out of his wand and headed to the castle.
Boom!
A large and powerful explosion occurred after the light reached its target. A cloud of dust more than 20 meters could be seen, followed by a terrible shockwave that spread in the surrounding area.
A shield suddenly appeared in front of Edward as he experienced the power of that spell. He did not move his eyes as his clothes fluttered in the wind. Soon after, he saw the result of this attack.
The entire Hogwarts castle was destroyed with few remaining debris left. The protective enchantments were also annihilated.
As for Edward, he finally realized the power of the stone he created. Unlike Nicolas Flamel's stone which is full of grievances from the souls inside, his is pretty pure--meaning that it is easy to control the magic power inside and use it.
And Edward knew that this was not the full power of the stone as more power could be drawn from it; the only reason he did not do so was that his body could not bear it.
However, alchemy items had a higher threshold than humans, so he could easily create powerful magical weapons at the level of nuclear bombs and more.
Additionally, the previous test was using a simple Exploding Charm. If he used Elementals Spells that have a wide range of attacks, or the Fiendfyre Spell that can burn anything, this would truly be terrifying.
After sighing for a few seconds, Edward left to proceed to his next plan.
